Articles about Wally Hammond
Profile:
A dominant, classical right hand batsman, whose records would have seemed even
more remarkable if he had not played at the same time as Bradman. A superb cover
driver, but scored all round the wicket. Probably the finest slip fielder to
have played the game (along with Bob Simpson), and an excellent right arm medium
fast bowler. Captained England with an good record.
(David Liverman, Jan 1998)
